Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses)
Pennyroyal
should be used with extreme caution. Its scent is herbaceous and minty. It
is a well known emmenagogue; do not use during pregnancy. Has some use in
menstrual difficulties, often used to bring on menstruation. It's valuable
in repelling insects on animals. Can be diluted either in alcohol or vinegar
as a rub to kill fleas. Pennyroyal
should not be used in aromatherapy treatments on humans as it is considered
to be an oral toxin and uterine abortive. Many aromatherapists will
not use this oil. |

internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes, CO2s or other concentrated
essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage,
have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the
proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Use extreme
caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest

aromatherapy practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test
should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.
